Debian stable tends to be too stable for my tastes; Fedora is much more bleeding edge. It's just a matter of preference, really.

- csense 14y agoFedora? Bleeding edge? I've heard that Red Hat is what's holding a lot of people back in the Python world, because their Python version is so ancient.
- Symmetry 14y agoFedora is bleeding edge, Red Hat Enterprise Linux is not.
- chao- 14y agoIf it's fresh packages you want, surely you know there's more than just stable. Have you given Sid a try? I've been running it for years on my non-server machines, and I haven't had any more or less problems with it than other bleeding edge distros.
- colanderman 14y agoDebian testing is pretty great. I personally use a mix of testing, unstable, and experimental on my desktop, and a mix of stable and testing on my server.
- dfc 14y agoI have ran unstable for 10+ years. The only problems I have ever had were graphics related and required downgrading to an older version of an X11 library. Debian unstable has never put me in a position where I could have lost data.
